At a recent ACNA<\/a> bishop\u2019s consecration here in the United States the congregation burst into dance along with the bishop being consecrated and the entire clergy. The bishop is the one in the gold chasuble.

\nWhenever liturgical dance is brought up it puts me on edge. European-Americans and Westerners like me sometimes have a tough time with liturgical dance. That is my own bias. I know there are plenty of\u00a0cultures which resonate with dance and artistic movement both in the theater and in everyday life.<\/p>\n

I am comfortable with liturgical dance in societies where dance is an integral part of their self-expression. Thomas Kane\u2019s The Dancing Church<\/em> has shown me the power of liturgical dance when it rises up organically from the community.<\/p>\n

Very few times have I seen liturgical dance complement and enhance the liturgy being celebrated. Often it feels like a performance within the liturgy which distracts from the mysteries being celebrated.<\/p>\n

The energy and excitement of this video made me smile, and the dancing appeared to well up from within them. I know that David danced before the Lord; however, I am still left thinking: I don’t like liturgical dance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
